Don’t cry, little guy. We promise that starting the mission doesn’t hurt (too much).
ROCK’N ENDGAME
Legendary Artillery
Over and over on the Legends 3 Devroom boards, there have been requests for a strong rival for MegaMan Volnutt. Most of the other Mega Man series have one or more male rival type characters for the main hero. Proto Man, Bass, Zero, Rogue… The ranks of the rivals are many, so it’s no wonder that so many fans have requested to see such characters receive a Legends version counterpart. The rival could be anything from a skilled Digger who is after the same treasure, to a fellow Purifier Unit from MegaMan’s distant past who is working his own agenda…

More X Carddas!
Some samples of what I hope to do at some point: get nice quality scans of all the Mega Mission cards to go with the translations.
On the left, we have the Rockman X Mega Mission No. 01 holocard. On the right, Rockman X Jumbo Mega Mission I. Even though the Jumbo cards are much larger than the standard ones, after formatting they should wind around the same dimensions. I’ve been trying to decide whether to attempt to edit out the imperfections on the cards, or instead try to preserve them exactly as they are. For thoughts on that subject or other suggestions on the size and quality, you can sound off in the comments.
Someday, someday get all these Mega Mission cards scanned. Even if it takes another fifteen years! But if you don’t want to wait that long for more X Carddas goodness, the Mechanical Maniacs have got the X1 series up in their gallery! That should hit the spot.
